Default Tire pressure

Getting new tires this Friday. BFGoodrich TA/KO's LT285/75R16 just wondering what pressure you guys run at? I've had these before on my old Yukon and ran them at 42psi. Will be first time on the hummer and was thinking going to 45psi as 80psi is max. (Mostly street driving, any off-road would be just dirt trails) What are your thoughts? Thanks!

That seems high. I run GY Duratracs 285/75R16 at 38PSI with no issues both on and for mild off road.

At 45psi I hope you have a good relationship with your Dentist for all those fillings you will be replacing from the bone jarring teeth chattering ride over every crack in the pavement.

38PSI avoids the TPMS faulty warnings, 40PSI for a road trip to pinch a bit more MPG.

41 psi was good when I ran 285 Duratracs on mine. Nice and even wear across the face of the tire.

Thanks guys guess I just stick to 42 psi which is what I used on the Yukon. If it's too harsh I'll lower it a bit. Thanks again!
